Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Heroes 3 Announced

If your bi-monthly Naruto game announcement was looking a little thin lately, fear not for another Naruto game is inevitably on the way, and this time for the PSP. The new fighting game features new multiplayer modes, a new story mode and new playable characters.

According to the press release, Todd Thorson, director of marketing and public relations for Namco Bandai, commented saying…

“The Ultimate Ninja series continues to be one of the most popular NARUTO video game franchises for fans of the anime and manga around the world,” ... “NARUTO SHIPPUDEN: Ultimate Ninja Heroes 3 continues to innovate and refine the series’ trademark fighting mechanics, introducing new characters, and ensuring gamers at any skill level can fight like a true ninja.”

The game contains a whopping 50 characters to interact with, a revamped Master Road story mode that follows the arc up to Hidan and Kakuzu, as well as four-player battles, Jutsu special team attacks and tons more features that would probably require an official fact sheet to list.

The game will be available to North American PSP gamers in 2010. For more information on Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Heroes 3 be sure to visit the Official Website.
